Film

  • Steve McQueen as Josh Randall in Wanted: Dead or Alive (.44-40 caliber, first with rounded barrel and D lever loop and later with octagonal barrel and tear drop lever loop)

What is the advantage of the oversized lever loop?

It allows you to spin the gun one-handed. Other than that, it actually makes the gun take longer to cycle. I never understood by The Rifleman used a large lever model, a small lever would have been quicker.
